Why should this tool be removed? LibreTube hasn’t seen any updates (stable) since July Normally, we consider 1 year as the dealy for unmaintained project. However, with the recent War that Youtube has been waging against private frontends, LibreTube is now broken. Others, such as NewPipe, Freetube …

I’m marking this thread as rejected because according to the original post, the reason for removing LibreTube was that it was “unmaintained,” that is, [image] anon80779245: they aren’t ready to patch it which is no longer the case. And it is no longer “unusable,” as reported by at least one …

I need to use a VPN, and I also need to use servers that are in my country. YouTube has blacklisted all the IPs from my country, so I’m always asked to login if I want to watch a video, so I can’t use any app that directly connects to YouTube. My only choice is LibreTube, but even that gets broken…

I kept changing instances on Libretube and when I wouldn’t get an error I would wait for the loading screen to finish only to get a black screen. And as @Rasta …

This was my experience as well. Other people on the LibreTube issue tracker also reported the same: I’m getting the same error even with the option “disable piped proxy” enabled. Being active, shouldn’t this option prevent this problem? [image] Cyber-Typhoon: I’m not sure what would be a g…

It really matters as LibreTube doesn’t show you a captcha box like in the site. If these sites/apps could solve that Captcha. Then we could use without errors. But we are hesitant as we people don’t like to connect to Google’s domain. 16 Aug 2024, by discourse@privacyguides.org :

[image] ph00lt0: LibreTube is not broken. It still works. I could just confirm that. [image] ikelatomig: Odd, it just worked fine for me. I haven’t come across a single error when connecting to YouTube directly. You seem to be the only ones not having problem. What configuration do you…
